Yes, but the first time Minrah died, it caught everyone by surprise, even though it should have been obvious. I won't make that mistake again. This is the last book, so someone has to die. Belkar will, but there will probably be more victims. Elan and Haley probably won't die because of the prophecy. Roy may die, but not before he defeats Xykon. Minrah chose to go to the place where there will probably be a big final confrontation with Xykon and Redcloak, and is actively helping Durkon. She's underleveled and not as developed as a character. Durkon, Minrah, and Vaarsuvius are all prime candidates to die, they could deliberately heroically sacrifice themselves to accomplish something, or just die in the ensuing fight. But Vaarsuvius and Durkon will probably only die later in the comic, whereas Minrah is less protected by the narrative, she could die any time. I wouldn't be too surprised if Redcloak killed him in the next panel. Redcloak may still be in the middle of the effect of his Implosion spell, in which case he can freely target Minrah the next turn. But even if he isn't, he probably has another level 9 spell prepared and some other ways to fight.
